Product Description
This is a pattern that gives you a decently sturdy cauldron to store small things in--for example your holiday treats or sewing utensils. It comes with two choices for a lid, a flat and a rounded one, and it's designed to be completely no-sew. There is an option for sewing on the handles as well, if that would be something you would prefer.
This pattern was designed using bulky-weight yarn (7 WPI) and a 5 mm (US H-8) hook. You can choose to use a different weight yarn and hook size, but it will alter the final size of the cauldron. When using the recommended yarn and hook size, the cauldron measures 16 cm wide and 11 cm tall.
It's an advanced-beginner level pattern that uses the standard crochet stitches, bobble stitches, front post single crochet, front loop only and backloop only. It also has reference photos for you to use, and have been tested by multiple crocheters on Ribblr.
I hope you enjoy making it!
Cauldron Bowl with Lid by Malin Alm
What is Being Made
The Cauldron Bowl with Lid is a sturdy crocheted container designed for storage of small items such as holiday treats or sewing utensils. This project features a cauldron-shaped bowl paired with your choice of two lid styles: a flat lid or a rounded lid. The finished piece is completely no-sew, making it an accessible project for crafters who prefer to avoid needle finishing techniques.
Crochet Techniques and Construction
This intermediate-level crochet project employs fundamental crochet construction methods to create a three-dimensional container. The pattern utilizes standard crochet stitches to build the bowl structure and both lid variations. The no-sew construction method means that all pieces are joined using crochet techniques rather than traditional sewing, streamlining the finishing process and eliminating the need for a tapestry needle and yarn weaving.
Stitches Used

The pattern is designed to produce a decently sturdy finished product capable of holding and storing items, indicating the use of stitches that create fabric with appropriate density and stability.
